Healthy Teeth Level 9-11

Healthy Teeth is an informative early reader text that teaches children how to care for their teeth and why oral hygiene is important for overall health. Presented through a simple yet effective layout, the book uses vivid photographs, a cross-sectional diagram, and a bolded glossary to support learners in understanding dental care. The narrative reinforces the idea that people take care of themselves by keeping clean, echoing the themes in the anchor text Taking Care of Yourself. Featuring key phonics elements such as digraphs (th, sh, ch), consonant blends, and contractions like let's, the book strengthens foundational reading skills while delivering an important health message. By exploring tools and routines for keeping teeth clean, this book promotes lifelong healthy habits in an age-appropriate and accessible way.
